At 2.30pm today [Aug 1] a female was riding her motorcycle on Middle Road in Devonshire when two men on a motorcycle road alongside her, caused her to fall from the bike and stole money as well as her motorcycle. The victim received minor abrasions, and the police said the quantity of cash stolen was “substantial.”

A police spokesperson said: “At 2:30pm today [Wednesday afternoon] a female was riding her motorcycle west along Middle Road in Devonshire just east of Fort Hill when two black males riding a black cycle road alongside her and caused the female rider to fall from the bike.

“The suspects then took a substantial quantity of cash and her cycle. The victim received minor cuts and abrasions from this incident.

“Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone who may have seen 2 black males on a black cycle acting suspiciously in the area of Middle Road in Devonshire to please contact Police on 2950-011 or the confidential Crimestoppers hotline on 800 8477.”

My sympathies really go out to this girl. She'll never be the same after this incident. Forever looking in he rear view mirror , on her new bike or probably car as she'll be too terrified to ride again. Broad daylight ! !

Just despicable. No other description for it. Black males are doing it to themselves and unfortunately the good have to suffer for the bad. Get your act together , and quickly , 'cause no one else it going to do it for you.

Sickening! 2:30 pm on a busy street. I can't believe the gull of these 2 cowards. Looks like the police/ regiment etc will need to be island wide for the holiday and not all up Somerset. Very sad state this island is in.

If I ever, and I mean EVER come across scum like that robbing anyone I will run their a$$e$ over with my truck..it just pi$$e$ me off I'm out here busting my rump and these fools are robbing people In broad daylight DAMN!! I'm fuming right now!!

I hope the two that did this read this...notice that you are not as smart as you think you are...there are a lot of pissed off people on this blog...let us take count.. Damage to be done by public if happened upon: 1. lots of name calling 2. Removal of hands by way of chopping 3. Smashed balls 4. run over by a truck 5. Flogged in public, beating goes here as well. this list is just so far, I am sure there will be more to come.

now most of the stuff you read on these blogs are people venting frustrations. be warned you little a#$holes...some men take protecting women very seriously...might not be today or tomorrow or the next day, but just like this young lady shall for ever more fear being alone on the streets of Bermuda, so shall you have your day of judgement as justice will be done. What the courts and god does to you shall never match the fury of a man and his love for a great wife or daughter. Keep one eye open while you sleep...The shadow knows.

What I dont understand is how they managed to pull all of that off on MIDDLE ROAD at 2:30 in the AFTERNOON?! I mean really, how was there not any traffic around to interrupt this madness from taking place? These criminals are getting way too bold.

Instead of having them ride bikes with large sums of cash, they should be driven by someone in a car, always have two people for security reasons and to avoid stuff like this happening. Sad state this island is in. 911

This is really upsetting ,...my mother makes 5 a.m. in the morning and for this to happen in broad daylight i fear for my mothers life knowing that she makes that time! but for them to do it in the day is shocking! i hope they get whats coming for them...a royal ass beating when they find out who it is

wait until ALL the FACTS come out before you start name calling. Of all the people on the road they just happen to PICK the one carrying a shift load of money? I think more questions need to be asked and answered.

Let's wait until all the facts are in. My question is how would someone know who and when an individual was carry a substantial amount of cash. Was this an inside job? It had to take more than the two on the bike to know how to stage this crime. Now the question is who else is involved. Isn't very strange how this was organized arounf cup Match eve.

There is still a lot that doesnt add up and I am quite sure with the right detectives on this case they will expose the entire crime.

Or was she really knocked off her bike because this sounds kinda fishy, no one was there to witness in broad daylight on CUP MATCH eve. All this damn traffic on the damn road today. Come on people wake up.........

Greetings Bermuda, I Pray that Every Woman Living in Bermuda Will Please Exercise Extra Caution When Travelling With Cash whether Small Amounts or Large!!!! Please Ladies Please Be Very careful in How You Expose The Money, Even When In Our Local Banks!!! If Possible Look Around When Leaving and Take Note Of Anyone Leaving Behind You!!! If You Feel Uneasy, Then Take a Few Evasive Measures, Such as, Making a Turn or Two In Well Populated Areas, To Determine Whether The Individual/Individuals Are Possibly Following You!!!! I Pray Everyone Has a Blessed Safe Day and Cup Match Holiday Weekend!!!!!!!

Girls here's a little secret to defending yourself: Buy a small can of spray paint in a nice bright colour - like neon yellow. Keep it (without the lid on) in the front of your bike - within easy reach. If some asswipe comes along trying to cause trouble, or cause you to fall - spray them in the face. It stings like hell and guess what: When you call 911 to report the incident, tell the cops to look for some idiot with a bright yellow helmet and face. That'll teach them to mess with us girls!
